Total score ?
(maximal 570)		323
Pros + Sharpness and lowlight behavior
+ Some good manual control
+ Touch Focus
Cons - Automatics never completely switched off
- No support for AVCHD
Conclusion With the HMX-S10 Samsung shows the company is able to build cameras that can compete technically in the 1000 Euro league.The camera hardware is more than adequate for this price.But software-wise there is more emphasis on colorful animations than practical usability. The small lens wheel does in any case only make limited sense, as long as you cannot inhibit the camera from automatically changing the settings.The display, however, is really impressive and also the manufacturing of the camera seems very solid.
